A recent article identifies and examines key performance indicators (KPIs) for citizen mobility logistics in smart and sustainable urban areas. It begins with a comprehensive literature review to identify essential KPIs, offering valuable insights for public and private stakeholders, including policymakers and mobility service providers. Drawing from various mobility projects in smart cities, the study extracts common KPIs and best practices. The paper then analyzes Barcelona, Spain, where the most relevant KPIs are analyzed.
Methods
Using open data from the city council spanning from 2017 onwards, the study provides insights into the evolving mobility logistics landscape. KPIs from other European cities are also considered by utilizing similar open data sources. This comparative analysis provides valuable benchmarks and reveals disparities in mobility logistics. Throughout this investigation, the paper emphasizes the role of data quality in KPI selection.
Results
Reliable open data significantly influences indicator choices and presents challenges when comparing cities. Remarkably, the findings consistently highlight environmental data as an area requiring attention in sustainable mobility logistics.
Facilitating knowledge exchange and experience sharing among cities is imperative for advancing sustainable mobility agendas across Europe. The proposed methodological framework provides a means to assess the interdependencies among various indicators, enabling a comprehensive comprehension of the implications and trade-offs associated with policy decisions.
